Haneen and Revan’s wedding was meant to be a joyful gathering with nearly 900 friends and family. Instead, a devastating fire at the venue in Qaraqosh destroyed lives and dreams alike. The blaze started suddenly and engulfed the hall, causing over 100 deaths and many injuries.
The couple recalled the horror as the ceiling caught fire and melted within seconds, sending guests into chaotic panic. Revan shared how he fought to protect his wife amid the terrifying escape but witnessed people being trampled in the rush.
The investigation pointed to fireworks igniting the fire and revealed that the building’s flammable ceiling panels violated safety rules. Fourteen people were arrested for their role, and government officials pledged to tighten safety enforcement.
The tragedy has left Haneen and Revan shattered, unable to remain in their hometown. Haneen hasn’t spoken since the event, and Revan says they feel hollow inside, robbed of their happiness. Their story is a heartbreaking call for better care and caution to avoid such disasters in the future.
